Naomi Watts 2018 McHappy Day Ambassador said, “As a mum, I couldn’t imagine being apart from my kids if they were sick or injured. Ronald McDonald House Charities keeps these families together when they need it most and I’m honoured to be this year’s Ambassador. I can’t wait to head to Australia next month and help McHappy Day raise as much as possible for RMHC.”
